Algebra.Com's Answer #290989 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! On cloudy days, the sun intensity I (in calories per square centimeter) is given by I = I(max) sin^2 (pi t / D) where I(max) is the largest sun intensity and D is the number of daylight hours. If D = 12, how many hours after sunrise is intensity exactly half of the maximum level? (Assume t is in between zero and D) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Solve sin^2[(pi/12)t] = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "sin[(pi/12)t] = sqrt(2)/2 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "(pi/12)t = pi/4 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "(t/12) = 1/4 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "t = 3 hrs. \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
